Mental how they were allowed to say that there was going to be a prequel trilogy! Nowadays the actors can't even say if they're in the sequel
+TheCDMole Only because George Lucas had already said he had nine films in mind.
+Caleb Harris when it was first released in 1977 it was just called "Star Wars". It was renamed to episode IV: a new hope afterwards
+Caleb Harris .....LOL Are you serious? :P
+TheCDMole Yes, very interesting that he even mentioned prequels.
James Bryant I think he planned a 9 or 12 movie total story. George Lucas now in his 70's just doesn't want to commit the time and effort it would take to make more Star Wars. It's why he sold to Disney.
Did anyone else notice how Mark referenced Yoda but nobody laughed because at that point nobody knew who Yoda was?
totally
+haydena357 Was this before or after Empire was released? Return was clearly in early stages as Mark calls it Revenge of the Jedi but i get the impression this is a promotion for the cinema release of Empire.
+Scottishwolf89 well the recipe book was released in 1980 same year as Empire.. it feels like Empire was just released or something, talking about the carbon freezing and all
+Brent R the fact that they mention the carbon freezing seems like major spoilers though! Unless it was in tge trailer?
+haydena357 Sweeeet
Mark: lovingly stroking cat
Carrie: holding turtle upside down
The tortoise's belly is backing under the hot lamps. But your not helping. Why is that Carrie?
@@pungisotu keep it up and she'll tell you about her mother
Well it’s a tortoise and they come from desert climates anyway. It’s fine.
Stephen it’s just a question, Stephen. Designed to get an emotional response. Shall we continue?
@@pungisotu Cocaine is a hell of a drug. THERE I SAID IT!
So we're all just going to pretend that it's fine that R2's head is backwards?
Yup. Just like we’re going to pretend that Chewie isn’t naked, and that Vader’s helmet isn’t on crooked.
Haha, fancy seeing you here.
(Updated since I think my previous post may be offensive.)
Yep. Because it's the 80's. We talked in casual tones and smiled gently. And we weren't rushing to be pedantic about every little thing. Like Harrison Ford said, "Look, kid: it's not that kinda movie."
Technically his head can do a full 360 but don’t know why it didn’t turn around
And one of C3PO's calf is silver color .... this video has been Mandela-d ...
I love the fact that Mark just very comfortably pets his cat while Carrie just doesn’t know what to do with her tortoise
A tortoise without a porpoise, so sad...
I thought it was both cute and funny when the cat buried it’s head in Mark’s arm! Thinking it was a bit of a shy kitty lol
some dog mouth bacteria on Hamill's one
Mark Hamill seems like such a nice guy
+Max Lachance He's seriously the biggest dork in film its so rare when sci fi stars actually can relate to their audience.
+MikDonsen Haha yeah I've noticed John Boyega (aka Finn) is also like that.
Yeah, it was actually him and John Boyega were the two guys who pushed the studio to allow a cancer patient to see The Force Awakens before the release
Jack Moody The poor guy passed away soon afterwards RIP. I'm glad John and Harrison helped make it happen.
+mizanrashid321
Think you meant Mark!
Can we take a moment to appreciate how cozy and friendly this interview setting is, love it. Mark is petting a cat in a knit sweater for christ sakes vibes
Blue Peter was a children's show, and a lot of kids shows at the time had a gentle and cozy atmosphere like Mr. Rogers
I was just about to write "Can we just acknowledge and appreciate that Mark Hamill is holding a cat" xD
This makes me nostalgic about a time before I was even born.
betterine same lol
Matthew Hopkins how old are u
Matthew Hopkins ohhh ok
@Matthew Hopkins happy birthday old man
The 70s has consistently looked to me as the worst decade to be a part of since the 30s and 40s.
6:34 Mark feeds the dog using his own spoon and uses it to feed himself after feeding the dog.
Force is strong with this boy.
gross, that's so disgusting when people do that.
+OU81TWOZ 46 It's kind of surprising how many people do that and I'm not just talking about kids.
+John Shepard what a scrubber
+Dey Dey they lick their own balls...and eat their own shit
+John Shepard The mouth of a dog is very clean.
"Some robots are very human like, and some humans are very robot like"
+Elsa Green Carrie has always been bright and witty, she's one of my favorite people to watch in interviews
+Morgan Snailz She could described the Prequel's Actors in a Nutshell XD
+Morgan Snailz im14andthisisdeep
Why is R2-D2 back to front??? LOL!! 😂😂😂
+Morgan Snailz Darth Plagueis is Snoke confirmed
Carrie's thought the entire time: "Why am I holding a turtle?"
Andrew Aiello turtles thoughts: “Why am I upside down?”
hahaha true 😂
"Is this thing going to crap in my hand? They do crap, right?"
More importantly, 'How do I hold a turtle?!?'
This is so chill, I wish more interviews were like this.
If you look at old interviews
people were more chilled back then. also, more articulate
maybe Idiocracy is real
@@WolfsH0ok maybe? it is for sure
Do an interview while holding a cat then eating your dinner? That is pretty chill.
The Western world has gone side ways heading to an abyss.
egotistical people who don't give a shit cause of popularity and money
0:21 "DAFUQ IS THAT THING!? KEEP IT AWAY FROM ME!"
+abhinav hajra Lol
+abhinav hajra Chewbacca was the most laid back wookie ever in this clip. Just like, "OK, guess I have to walk this way"
+abhinav hajra haha dogs hate RC's
+abhinav habra I read it in Pazuzu's voice from The Exorcist, when father Merrin shows him a bottle of holy water: "YOU KEEP IT AWAY!"
David Vázquez I had Hugh Jackman's voice in my head from DOFP. When he briefly loses his memory and screams at the Beast in a quite similar way.
interesting how mark says about making the prequels way back when
+newjackswing21 Lucas always planned 9 films, in spite of denying it years later. This proves he at least had another three. Wonder why it didn't happen? Surely the studios would be up for it, it's a guaranteed money maker. Seems like it's down to Lucas again, especially as he never directed anything else until the prequels.
oh right, thanks for the info
+lwaves Yeah I mean Return of the Jedi was the most successful film of that year.
+lwaves he actually planned 12 movies. Which would make the 12th movie come out 2025
+lwaves When the Empire Strikes Back came out, when they were still making records, that is when it was announced inside that record that Lucas planned nine films. I have that collectable. Plus Empire came out as Episode V and then Lucas went back and added Episode IV A New Hope something he originally wanted to do. He always planned the back stories and even what is being done now with much older Luke Leia and Han.
"as we see r2-d2 casually runs over a dog scared for it's life"
He has his head the wrong way around.
Tank be like
And c3po seemed drunk 😂
Mark: *chilling with the cat*
Carrie: *cautiously holding turtle upside down*
4:36 - Carrie's internal monologue : "Better look like I'm enjoying the tortoise"
+Will Poole when she picks it up and just looks like its an ice cream thats melting on her hand
+Will Poole She just turns it over like "ok cool got to do something here".
+Will Poole More like must not eat, must not eat, must not eat. It's actually kinda sad how anorexic she was.
Angron789 Yeah it's bloody sad. I always wondered why her and hamils voices changed so drastically over the trilogy. As a kid I thought it was a natural change. Now that I am that age its absolutely astounding.
MikDonsen glad she is okay no3
I love these BBC interviews... very innocent and wholesome.
I'm sad we've lost some of that today...
+Jason Adrienne Reeves It was for a little children's program. That's most of it.
Terry Reeves 😏 yes, I know...
+Terry Reeves He meant we've lost some of the innocence of TV.
+Kit Palmer By who?
+P Ferreira Jimmy Savile
4:40
Carrie : “Da Fuq is this?”😂😂
DG 42 lmaoooooo
Is this real, or is the acid kicking in?
She was just trying to see if she could snort cocaine off of it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😭
headly21
Must be a pussy talking about people who aren’t alive anymore
Imagine Ewan Mcgregor and Haydn Christensen going on Blue Peter
I can imagine it
Hide the younglings
Ewan was 9 years old in 1980 so he very well could have been watching this episode when it aired.
@@thekiss2083 LMAO This is funny considering its children's TV 😂😂😂
@@thegorn68 He could of still went on in 2008 or somewhere around that time.
Damn everyone in that interview are so calm that it's scary. o.O
+Commander Shepard
They're all high as fuck
+Commander Shepard That was before the entire planet had anxiety disorder.
+RP FS2 Star Wars cast is aways high as fuck...
+John Smith Before the dark times... Before the Empire.
+John Smith I don't know why this made me bust out laughing
Did he just eat off the same spoon as the dog... I think I respect that man more somehow
This man is a legend
It's no different than sharing food with a family member or friend except it's a dog instead of a human.
He did, indeed.
Carrie:”Revenge of The Jedi”
Me: Aw that’s cute
Plushie Pro Thats what ep 6 was initially called
lol
John Smith I know you
That was the original title and then it was changed to the Return of The Jedi.
klári geiszler I know
And people act like the prequels weren’t planned out until George started releasing them. Here is Mark Hamill in 1980 talking about them!
I mean....Id hardly call "Young Darth Vader and young Obi-Wan" planned out
@@VadersFist95 for a no-spoilers comment in passing, it hints at serious planning (which of course goes through a lot of iteration).
Exactly and people say that George Lucas got worse over time because of the prequel well he wrote the originals and the prequel‘s around the same timeMeaning George Lucas his writing is always been amazing you’re at the same time not always the best
@@cam1481 George is a master storyteller. This whole mythos comes from his mind.
He just never was that great at dialogue. But the creativity, the visual aspects, the world-building... Just, wow.
@@WesMordine George actually intentionally wrote his dialogue to be old fashioned
Carrie Fischer is absolutely beautiful
nothosaur Fisher, yeah she was stunning back then.
@@XoXo475 It is a shame she did so much drugs and booze, Because she looked alright up until summer of 2010
So is Sarah Green who is interviewing her.
Why state the obvious? But still DAMN
@@mikekaraoke "Drungs" = Drugs + Dung?
Madness to hear them talking about the Prequels before the release of "Revenge" Of The Jedi. I also LOVE the way Carrie embarrassingly says the title and then looks at the camera...*swoon*...
They should went with Revenge of the Jedi instead Return of the Jedi. It’s funny cause they end up using the Revenge name like almost 30 years later with Revenge of the Sith
@@steadydropnem iirc Lucas stated the reason he picked Return over Revenge is that even in the delivery of retribution and righteous justice that it is not the Jedi way to seek revenge.
R2 comes on with his head backwards and runs over the dog, C-3PO stumbles on like he's just been thrown out of the pub, Carrie struggles to bond with a tortoise, and Mark feeds stew to the dog. This is gold!
This comment has me in joyful tears. These are all the highlights.
We were totally watching the same thing. LOL
Mark Hamill petting a cat has to be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
OMG, I love how Mark is all cuteness enjoying the animals, and then there's Carrie at 4:36 like: How do you tortoise?
✨
It's hilarious how she holds him/her 😆
These shows in the 80s were so much more natural and warmer. Nothing like it today.
What in the hell is going on here lmao
Carrie Fisher holding turtle upside down "what is this?"
Mark Hamill feeding the dog with his spoon and then eats off that same spoon
Welcome to the carefree late 70s/early 80s.
They were all high
Darth Vader’s helmet is not on straight
Yeah, that's what his shrink concluded, too.
Rusty Reno. Watch this th-cam.com/video/gq_2nK5KUAo/w-d-xo.html and you will see @ 3:23 how the original helmet never was symmetrical. Good spot though Rusty!
He'd been drinking the night before.
'The revenge of the jedi'
+Age of Aqua The phantom empire
+Age of Aqua A new Clone Hope
+Age of Aqua maybe you know but for others - that was the actual intended title at the time. Obviously very different plot intended for the prequels then "Luke 5 or 6 years old in third prequel"
+Blue Whovian I know. Just imagine if they'd done all nine films he intended, with his usual three year gap between each movie. 4, 5 + 6 as we know with the original cast we know. 1, 2 + 3 in '86, '89 + '92 with a younger cast. Then 7, 8 + 9 back with an older, original cast in '95, '98 + '01.
The potential was staggering for the greatest film series ever. But nope, he had to wait, and wait, and wait.....until he'd lost it.
+Age of Aqua That was the first title they intended for Return of the Jedi. But they thought that "revenge" didn't sound something a Jedi would do. So they went for what we all know and love.
Mark Hamill, is already talking about Episode 1 and young Darth Vader, and this interview is from 1980...G.Lucas planned everything so long ago.
but the plan logically changed since Luke was not 5 or 6 years old in any of the movies.
Yes, but this is 19 years before the first prequel came out. They did focus on young Darth Vader, younger Alec Guinness, and luke was in the the episode just preceding the original Star Wars movie, although he wasn’t 5 or 6 he was still in the movie. It sounds like Mark hamill had a general idea of what the prequels would be about.
Yes, this was known as a story arc. Where the creator had a clear vision of how things wohld pan out. Exactly like the modern sequel trilogy...oh no, wait...that's not the case.
@@eliebechara3811 This was before Darth Vader was revealed to be his father
@@fatdadfit6022 Read some of J.J. Abrams's interviews regarding Episode IX. He mentions that he and Lawrence Kasdan did make a plan, and talked about story arcs and character arcs, ideas which are being used in Episode IX. Rian Johnson was given the freedom to do his own thing with Episode VIII, but he was writing it while Episode VII was in production, and coordinating with Abrams, so it's not like it was unconnected.
"Revenge of the Jedi." I always thought Plinkett was joking about that, but it's true. All of it.
Mr. Plinkett never lies. He is the most honest murderous psychopath I've ever met.
You didn't notice. But your brain did
Did I give you permission to talk??!
She’s stupid
It's so dense. Every single review has so much going on...
1:23 Anyone hearing Chewbacca casually saying "hello" ? hahaha
It's just a magnificent costume isn't it? They all are.
Yes, very odd!
C3p0 looks like he's getting attacked by invisible ninjas when he walks in
😂😂
+ArticPyro Haha. I know, that weird skip he does is very funny
This is killing me 😂😂
Had to watch this back with new context. Thank you 😂
Wow the 70's was sooooo beige!.
+Scott Lee Clayton
1980?
Good point...
*****
and 80s and early 90s.
It was the color choice for a lot of desktop computers back in the day.
+Scott Lee Clayton The dog... The dog was the only small, small escape from the 70's in this video. Thank God they never change.
+Scott Lee Clayton lol beige, brown and orange. The 70's were probably the ugliest period in fashion and interior design.
Mark talking about the prequels is so cool. I literally can’t imagine a world where there’s only 3 Star Wars films seeing as I was born in 05, so seeing this hint to them at a time far before they came out is wild.
I was born in 2002.
I was born 1971 & having to wait for them to be made was hard but really exciting. There was internet so information was less easy to come by but great, great times.
To this day, it shows Mark Hamill has stayed a truly nice person. I was born 1972 and went to the uk showing at the age of 5. After 24 years serving in the Royal Marines, I think Mark is a true gent.
R2's head was on backwards!
+Omicron942 Think it's probably so it's facing the camera rather than having his back to the audience :P
+Omicron942 Where? When?
+William Tiley all the time
GWRfan3717 No it wasn't.
+William Tiley it is look at it the front of the head is at the back of the droid
You don't see talk shows like this anymore. So calm, so friendly, and it has stew!
Dude. 80's television is so damn wholesome
well don't forget all the 'obscene amount of violence' in shows like The A-Team. ; -)
@@uitblazenindepijp does anybody in the a-team get shot besides the actual a-team? I. Think each member caught at least a bullet but they never kill anyone.
Well, people weren’t so fucked up. If we want people to stop shooting each other, look at what’s on tv, lol. This television totally appeals to me. I love it.
“What was it like acting with robots?”
No different from this interview.
Bam!
Ooooh Buurrrnnnnn.
@EnglishXnXproud exactly. Wasn't going to be all like
"Coming up, Carrie Fisher discusses her substance addictions and then later we make a space station out of an old cornflake box
and some plastic cups"
Damn it this is so funny!!
LMAO
Dang, this interview seems a lot more civilized than the interviews we have today.
R2 has his head on backwards. C3PO comes stumbling out like a startled drunk. Chewie proudly strides into shot completely naked.
The 80s. A different time, man.
3:20
- What did you do to keep warm?
- We cut open the abdomen of a tauntaun and crawled inside its cadaver.
Mark Hamill with a cat, there's something can be much cute than this?
Chewy: walks in *”Hello”*
I love that.
it‘s James May!
Lucas decided revenge did not fit in with a jedi’s philosophy.
No lol, he changed it to “Return” because it saved him money on printing. True story
@@lolmaorofl That's just silly. Any credible source for that?
@@DOSRetroGamer red letter media ROTJ review 😂
@@One.Zero.One101 By any chance do you remember the Netflix documentary name?
Wasn't there also a conflict with Star Trek II: Revenge of Khan, in production at same time, who also later changed their title from Revenge to Wrath, thus both studios had tried not to confuse the public upon release of these films?
Makes me want to cry , just by seeing how young Mark Hamil was and Carrie Fisher.
Could you imagine the chaos if Hamill accidentally said Darth Vader is Luke’s father?
He himself didn't know at the time
HalgosSW He just finished filming Empire Strikes Back. He was told during filming. He knew.
@@cdbutler1204 Okay, maybe. But Im not 100% sure
@@halgos7321Well Empire ends just after Lukes big fight with Vader where he chops Lukes hand off and does the big ......I'm father reveal ......So yeah.....He definitely knew....There's was a fake page in the script that said that Obi Wan killed his father though so he wasn't told until just before they shot the scene....Even Vader/ Proust didn't know and said the Obi Wan killed your father line that was changed n editing when they added James Earl Jone's voice.
"Hey guys - you'll never guess what happens..."
Harrison Ford is like screw this crap
Zombie Paul Walker he had a bad feeling about it..lol
hope he didnt feel above all that stuff
Ford is an overrated pretentious pos. Kurt Russell should have been Han. He'd actually appreciate it. :{
tetsuoswrath you can’t recast Han Solo for the Original Trilogy
@@bearbaughgames I wasn't. I'm saying Harrison Ford is an ungrateful piece of shit. And that had Kurt played Han he would have appreciated it more than Ford. :{
They are so down to earth and chill. I can only imagine how many people who were close to Carrie who still miss her till this day.
It's sooooo nice, friendly, no swearing, no sarcasm. God I was so lucky to be 11 in 1980. I was dreaming about getting the figures for Christmas. Carrie Fisher looks lovely, and Mark Hamill was so polite, too.
Well said. I'm the same age too
Mark is clearly an animal lover, he had the cat the whole time and then when the food came out, he fed the dog with his spoon and then used the same spoon immediately afterwards lol.
I noticed the same, and scrolled for this comment.
Carrie Fisher holding that tortoise like she was going to eat it.
Like a cheeseburger. 😆
very wholesome video! it makes me appreciate the dynamics of the cast
Very interesting that Mark knew so much about the prequels in this era... George really knew what he wanted the whole time!
Everyone says that Lucas never had the prequels in mind when making the original trilogy..yet they didn't even film Return of the Jedi yet ( then called Revenge of the Jedi but was changed when George Lucas came to the conclusion that Jedi don't seek revenge, so the title didn't make sense and was changed to Return ) Mark Hammil knew about episodes I, II & III. Yet people still say George Lucas came up with the idea to make the prequel trilogy in the 90s.
I’m not sure why anybody would say that he came up with the idea for prequels in the 90’s because it makes literally no sense. After the initial release of Star Wars he subsequently added the whole “Episode IV A New Hope” title and ESB & RotJ we’re named episode V and VI respectively... everyone knew that he was obviously planning on going back and doing I-III at some point, it was just that he took such a long break after RotJ that many thought he never was never going to get round to it.
Back in the old days when a couple of shelving units and half a sofa constituted a 'set'.
+Nebagram Lol yeah, it's actually quite entertaining watching old TV interviews. The production quality and the presentation style is just so different from today.
Mark Hamill is such a sound bloke and an actor for the fans
Why is no one talking about how calming this interview is
0:52 Obviously, Anthony Daniels was not in C3PO's costume.
Amazing the way this actor can give a specific beahviour to a simple robot.
I guess that's those kind of details that makes Star Wars unique.
What a wonderful little program! It was so nice ot see young Carrie and Mark in it. Thank you! Delightful!
1:23 chewie can speak english. He literally said "Hello: in a posh englishman voice.
Damn! I didn't notice that, the first time.
Dan Anderson ive been scrolling through the comments trying to find someone talk about this lmao
John from Tennessee hehe, they would have redone the take if it were 2019. 70s and 80s were awesome
"Cheerio mate. Fancy a spot of tea?"
Peter Mayhew was at no time posh. Even at this point he was a hospital porter.
Is there anything else in this world more wholesome than this interview?
The dog was very interested to know what was in the bowl when food was handed out, and he was a gentleman and willed himself not to put his nose into it. What a lovely show, and group of beings all together!
I remember this when it was on, my best friend at the time had an early Betamax video recorded his father from Hong Kong brought him. He recorded this, we watched it over and over expecting the prequels in the late 80’s.
I was born in 76. It felt like a lifetime before the prequels were finally released.
What an amazingly sweet interview. Classic Blue Peter.
This is one of the absolute BEST interviewers I've seen in my life. How skilled she is!!!
Carrie casually holding the turtle 😂
Like a sandwich.
6:41 Carrie, reaches out her feelings to force feeds Mark.
I miss Carrie she was s funny lady.
@@nathanx.675 the wall takes no prisoners especially when fame fuels drugs and whoring.

Why can't we give interviewees cats and tortoises nowadays, really cuts through the awkwardness.
Toby Hogan except when one of the pets happens to be a tortoise.

I love how Hammil talks about covering from the cold at 3:30 and right after that the cat hides its face on his sweater
Seeing young Mark bonding with animals has to be the cutest thing ever
RIP DOGO, RIP CARIE, and most likely that turle is still kicking.
And old mate puss might be a bit on the nose by now too.
Peter Mayhew inside the Chewbacca costume also left us a year or two back.
*Mark is talking about Episode 1 in **4:16** holy shit.*
4:40 Carrie that's not how you hold a turtle-
"casualy serves STEW" omg the 70's
aw mark was a natural at this
1:23 Chewbacca just said Hello!
this is gold, the only thing that can top this is star wars christmas special... and y'all know that is pure diamond
Watching this interview to ease my period cramp because this interview looks so cozy
Two thumbs up for the excellent state that video footage is after so many years. Video footage preservation in the pre digital days was very delicate. Every time you copied the tape you lost a generation and quality, even from broadcast tapes and videorecorders decreased. These are important programmes for the future...namely, for now.
It was like they are so gentle from another universe, so the episode 1-3 were already in the work
1:37 Somebody didn't tell this guy that heat rises
Mark and Carrie are just such genuine and sweet people.
holy shit Carrie with the turtle at 4:39 , im crying.
*tortoise
Sometimes I forget how absolutely stunning Carrie used to look like
The cat burying its head in Marks arm is the cutest thing I've seen today
I love the doggie getting scared when R2-D2 comes over and disturbs her slumber at 0:21. Haha. Too adorable! “Whoa! What the hell is that?”
that dog had some sharp reflexes
A heartwarming atmosphere that you don't find anywhere nowadays on screen. How I miss the old days....
Haha, why the _tortoise?_ At least Mark gets a soft kitty. :v
because the tortoise was a much loved blue peter pet... although I'm not completely sure it was always the same one.
I'm sure Carrie had a soft kitty too
Haha, the dog nearly shat itself when R2-D2 came up to him
I still have a Blue Peter book from when I lived in London SW1 in 1966-68.
mark "babyface" hamill is so adorable in this
GOD BLESS MARK HAMILL AND CARRIE FISHER
